1 Year had passed since Fizzlepop had become Celestia’s personal student. Fizzlepop had become really close friends both Twilight and Sunburst, although they had remained ignorant to her draconic origins. Celestia had far accelerated her teachings over the year and Fizzlepop had aced every lesson to the point Celestia began to run out of things to teach. Celestia had mostly recovered from the whole ordeal but still feels weaker than she was before.

Celestia smiled “Fizzlepop, I think it’s time for a major test tonight. You have grown so much over the last year. You are even more powerful than Starswirl in his peak and you are only 6 even though you’re about as large as a filly who is ten.”

Fizzlepop sighed “I know you have been pushing my skill with magic and I bonded with my friends over magic but still I think you’re giving me too much credit.”

Celestia frowned “Your too modest, have some faith in yourself. I wouldn’t have picked you as my student if you weren’t extraordinarily gifted. I still need to figure out where to go next with your learning.”

Fizzlepop sighed “Well I’m going to the library, we’ll speak later Celestia.” She entered the library, as she looked around she thought (Come on there has to be something new!)

She began looking through old bookshelves she then pulled two books in succession, one with a moon on it and another with a sun in the same place. The bookshelf lowered into the floor, Fizzlepop darted in eagerly wondering what was in the room. She entered the room her smile grew as she saw the massive amount of books in it. She opened a book and found a large tome which read Starswirl’s Book of Dark Magic and its applications.

Fizzlepop smiled “Hmm, I have always wanted to make myself golems but doing it will be tricky, also Celestia may not approve, still I can’t believe I’ve found all this.” Her eyes then widened “This must be Celestia’s secret library, I think it’s time for a important research session.” Fizzlepop eyes widened as read book after book, so much blood and death filled those pages, Grogar, Tirek, Scorpan, Discord, Sombra
and Nightmare Moon.

Fizzlepop stood there shocked for several moments before something deep down urged her forwards, she knew the quest for knowledge could not be deterred. She began to return to normal as tomes of magic filled her hooves, books on chaos magic, harmonic magic and even dark magic as well as curses, hexes and even necromancy.

Fizzlepop had returned home from the library to see Spike sitting there sadly. She gave him a hug “Tomorrow, we are going out to see my friends for lunch before seeing a movie.” They both sat down as they happily ate some gems.

A familiar voice was shouting outside the castle, Fizzlepop saw a pale blue filly outside, she sighed “Trixie.”

She teleported behind a bush to overhear what was going on. Trixie shouted “The Great and Powerful Trixie demand to be let in, The Great and Powerful Trixie must show that silly filly how Great and Powerful she really is!”

The guards frowned “We cannot allow that.”

Trixie shouted louder “Why not, The Great and Powerful Trixie is not a threat to security is she?!”

Fizzlepop stepped out “I’m here, Trixie.”

Trixie smirked as she stood up on her hind legs “So your here, The Great and Powerful Trixie will show you real power.”

Fizzlepop frowned “How can you stand up like that?”

Trixie blinked “Like what?”

Fizzlepop sighed “On you hind legs.”

Trixie smiled “I have always had good balance.”

Fizzlepop asked “I could use your help; I have been trying to figure out how to move on my hind legs and failing.”

Trixie frowned “What is in it for Trixie?”

Fizzlepop said “Well I could help you with magic and give you access to the Canterlot Library when you with me.”

Trixie nodded as she extended her hoof out “Deal.”

Fizzlepop nodded “Very well, I’ll see you in 2 days. I have plans tomorrow.”

Trixie dissapeared in a puff of smoke as she shouted “The Great and Powerful Trixie will be there!”

Fizzlepop sighed as she thought (That mare has way too much energy.) As I trotted back to my room, I saw a 16 year old stallion with a blond mane and a compass for a cutie mark stomping through the hallway.

He raised his muzzle at me “This is no place for foals.”

Fizzlepop raised an eyebrow “Who are you?”

He spluttered “You don’t recognise me; I’m Prince Blueblood, the nephew of Princess Celestia.”

Fizzlepop asked “What do you do around here? Do you help run Equestria?”

Prince Blueblood frowned “No, I don’t why?”

Fizzlepop sighed “Well that means you’re not that important, it’s just a title.”

Prince Blueblood shouted “NOT IMPORTANT! I’m Prince Blueblood, a member of nobility, you are the intruder here!”

Fizzlepop scowled “I’m Princess Celestia’s personal student and could easily out-magic you any day of the week.”

Prince Blueblood laughed “You, Princess Celestia’s personal student what a joke.”

A voice said “She is my personal student nephew so I expect you to treat her with the same respect you do me.”

Prince Blueblood nodded with a forced smile “Yes Auntie.” He trotted away with a grimace

Fizzlepop sighed “I’m sorry about causing a problem with him.”

Celestia said “Well it’s not your fault; you shouldn’t have to deal with his behaviour. Still I’m here introducing you to my niece, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza.”

Fizzlepop raised an eyebrow as a Pink Alicorn trotted into view, the younger Alicorn smiled nervously at Fizzlepop “Hi, um I would prefer it if you just called me Cadence.”

Fizzlepop asked “Cadence, do you want to practise some magic?”

Cadence smiled “Sure, I am not very good at magic.”

Fizzlepop smiled “It doesn't mater, I can still teach you quite a lot.”

Within a second and accompanied by a popping sound the pair were back in Fizzlepop’s room leaving a smiling Celestia standing there (I’m glad these two get along).

Fizzlepop asked “Cadence, do you know how to teleport?”

Cadence shook her head “I was born a pegasus, magic is still difficult.”

Fizzlepop nodded “Well that shouldn’t change much for now, try to teleport a metre in front of you.” I watched as she gritted her teeth as she concentrated her magic. Then her horn sparked and nothing happened, Fizzlepop sighed “Okay, maybe I was too hasty. Don’t force it to do it, just tell it what to do and let it flow into the mold.”

I watched and smiled as I heard the pop and Cadence appeared in front of me. Cadence smiled “I did it.”

Fizzlepop smiled “Good but that was the easy part, the harder part is to improve efficiency.”

Cadence asked “How?”

Fizzlepop said “Well the simple explanation is that every spell has a perfect framework and our job is to push for that, we will never reach it but we should attempt to get close.”

Cadence frowned “Does that mean I have master all of them to a really high level?”

I laughed “No, I’m pretty confident with the millions of spells that exist even Celestia hasn't mastered all of them to that degree, you have an eternity ahead of you. I don’t however so do you mind if we continue, natural talent does not an immortal make.” The pair practised magic until dark.

Meanwhile Far from Equestria

A filly with the exactly same coat and mane colour of Fizzlepop but with a broken horn continued to wander through the wastes in search of a place to live.
